INTRODUCTION 0.0 The Government of India felt the need for a permanent agency to

expedite the publication of standards and development of test facilities in parallel when the work on the preparation of the standards is going on, as the development of improved safety critical parts can be undertaken only after the publication of the standard and commissioning of test facilities. To this end, the erstwhile Ministry of Surface Transport (MOST) has constituted a permanent Automotive Industry Standards Committee (AISC) vide order No.RT-11028/11/97-MVL dated September 15, 1997. The standards prepared by AISC will be approved by the permanent CMVR Technical Standing Committee (CTSC). After approval, the Automotive Research Association of India, (ARAI), Pune, being the Secretariat of the AIS Committee, has published this standard. For better dissemination of this information ARAI has published this document on their Web site.

0.1 Previously IS-13942:1994 covering performance requirements regarding Exterior projections were implemented in 1998 vide S.O. 873(E) Dt: 15th Dec 1997.

0.2 UN R26 which was base standard for IS 13942:1994, is revised to 03 series of amendment. Need was felt to revise external projection standard for M1 category, as latest design and styling trends supported in UN Regulation can be brought in Indian products, also latest UN has clarity about interpretational issues and further UN covers all the external components of the vehicle which are likely to cause injury to the other road users like – Luggage racks, roof rails etc. Hence, it was decided in 40th AISC Meeting to formulate new AIS on External Projections of M1 category of vehicles.

0.3 This standard (AIS-120) is based on the UN Regulation 26 Revision.3 (Supplement 01 to 03 series of amendments, Date of entry into force 11 June 2007) Uniform Provisions Concerning the Approval of : Vehicles with regard to their External Projections.

0.4 While preparing this standard attempt has been made to align with the above UN document. However, certain changes were necessary in the Indian context.

0.5 The AISC panel and Automotive Industry Standards Committee (AISC)

responsible for preparation of this standard are given in Annex C and Annex D respectively.

Automotive Vehicles - External Projections - Performance requirements for M1 Vehicles

1. SCOPE

1.1

1.2 1.3

This standard applies to external projections of category M1 vehicles as per AIS-053: 2005 as amended from time to time. It does not apply to exterior rear view mirrors or to the ball of towing devices.

The purpose of this standard is to reduce the risk or seriousness of bodily injury to a person hit by the bodywork or brushing against it in the event of a collision. This is valid both when the vehicle is stationary and in motion.

However, at the request of the vehicle manufacturer, vehicles of Category N1 and M2 which are derived from M1 can be type approved as per this standard.

2. DEFINITIONS

For the purpose of this standard:

2.1 "Vehicle type" means a category of motor vehicles which do not differ in such essential respect as, shape or materials of the external surface.

2.2 "External surface" means the outside of the vehicle and including

the bonnet, the lid of the luggage compartment, the doors, the wings, the roof, the lighting and light-signalling devices and the visible strengthening components.

2.3 "Floor line" means the line determined as follows:

Successively position round a laden vehicle a cone with a vertical axis, the height of which is not defined, and with a half angles of 30 degree in such a way that it contacts, constantly and as low as possible, the external surface of the vehicle. The floor line is the geometric trace of these points of contact.

In determining the floor line, the jacking points, exhaust pipes or wheels shall not be taken into consideration.

The gaps of the wheel arches are assumed to be filled in by an imaginary surface forming a smooth continuation of the surrounding external surface.

At both ends of the vehicle the bumper shall be taken into consideration when establishing the floor line. Dependent upon the particular vehicle the floor line trace may occur at the bumper section extremity or at the body panel below the bumper. Where two or more points of contact occur simultaneously, the lower point of contact shall be used to determine the floor line.

AIS-120

2/18

2.4 "Radius of curvature" means the radius of the arc of a circle which comes closest to the rounded form of the component under consideration.

2.5 "Laden vehicle" means the vehicle laden to the maximum permitted technical mass. Vehicles equipped with hydro-pneumatic, hydraulic or pneumatic suspension or a device for automatic leveling according to load shall be tested with the vehicle in the most adverse normal running condition specified by the manufacturer.

2.6 "Extreme outer edge" of the vehicle means, in relation to the sides of the vehicle, the plane parallel to the median longitudinal plane of the vehicle coinciding with its outer lateral edge, and, in relation to the front and rear ends, the perpendicular transverse plane of the vehicle coinciding with its outer front and rear edges, account not being taken of the projection :

2.6.1 of tyres near their point of contact with the ground, and connections for tyre pressure gauges;

2.6.2 of any anti-skid devices which may be mounted on the wheels;

2.6.3 of rear-view mirrors;

2.6.4 of side direction indicator lamps, end outline marker lamps, front and rear position (side) lamps and parking lamps;

2.6.5 in relation to the front and rear ends, of parts mounted on the bumpers, of towing devices and of exhaust pipes;

2.7 "The dimension of the projection" of a component mounted on a

panel means the dimension determined by the method described in paragraph A2 of Annex A to this standard.

2.8 "The nominal line of a panel" means the line passing through the two points represented by the position of the centre of a sphere when its surface makes its first and last contact with a component during the measuring procedure described in paragraph A2.2 of Annex A to this standard.

2.9 "Aerial" means any device used for transmitting and/or receiving

electromagnetic signals.

6.1.1 Added ornaments which project more than 10 mm from their support shall retract, become detached or bend over under a force of 10 daN exerted at their most salient point in any direction in a plane approximately parallel to the surface of which they are mounted. These provisions shall not apply to ornaments on radiator grilles, to which only the general requirements of paragraph 5 shall apply. To apply the 10 daN force a flat-ended ram of not more than 50 mm diameter shall be used. Where this is not possible, an equivalent method shall be used. After the ornaments are retracted, detached or bent over, the remaining projections shall not project more than 10 mm. These projections shall in any case satisfy the provisions of paragraph 5.2. If the ornament is mounted on a base, this base is regarded as belonging to the ornament and not to the supporting surface.

6.1.2. Protective strips or shielding on the external surface shall not be

subject to the requirements of paragraph 6.1.1 above, however, they shall be firmly secured to the vehicle.

6.2 Headlights

6.2.1 Projecting visors and rims shall be permitted on headlights, provided that their projections, as measured in relation to the external transparent surface of the headlight does not exceed 30 mm and their radius of curvature is at least 2.5 mm throughout.

ANNEX A (See 2.7)

METHOD OF DETERMINING THE DIMENSIONS OF PROJECTIONS AND GAPS

A 1. Method of determining the height of the projection of folds in body panels

A 1.1. The height H of a projection is determined graphically by reference to the circumference of a 165 mm diameter circle, internally tangential to the external outline of the external surface at the section to be checked.

A 1.2. H is the maximum value of the distance, measured along a straight line passing through the centre of the 165 mm diameter circle, between the circumference of the aforesaid circle and the external contour of the projection (see Figure 2).

A 1.3. In cases where it is not possible for a 165 mm diameter circle to contact externally part of the external outline of the external surface at the section under consideration, the surface outline in this area will be assumed to be that formed by the circumference of the 100 mm diameter circle between its tangent points with the external outline (see Figure 3).

A 1.4. Drawings of the necessary sections through the external surface shall be provided by the manufacturer to allow the height of the projections referred to above to be measured.

A 2. Method of determining the dimension of the projection of a component mounted on the external surface

A 2.1. The dimension of the projection of a component which is mounted on a convex surface may be determined either directly or by reference to a drawing of an appropriate section of this component in its installed condition.

A 2.2. If the dimension of the projection of a component which is mounted on a surface other than convex cannot be determined by simple measurement, it shall be determined by the maximum variation of the distance of the centre of a 100 mm diameter sphere from the nominal line of the panel when the sphere is moved over and is in constant contact with that component.

Figure 4 shows an example of the use of this procedure.

A 3. Method of determining the projection of headlamp visors and rims

A 3.1. The projection from the external surface of the headlamp shall be measured horizontally from the point of contact of a 100 mm diameter sphere as shown in Figure 5.

AIS-120

13/18

A 4. Method of determining the dimension of a gap or the space between

Elements of a grille

A 4.1. The dimension of a gap or space between elements of a grille shall be determined by the distance between two planes passing through the points of contact of the sphere and perpendicular to the line joining those points of contact.

Figures 6 and 7 show examples of the use of this procedure.
